It is highly recommended that you back up the Private Key for your web server.

It is recommended that the entire /path/to/your/apacheconf/conf directory be backed up regularly in compliance with each Company's policies.

At an absolute minimum, storing the following files in a secure location will allow a restore of the original Private Key and Server Certificate in the event of a disaster.

Private Key: /path/to/your/apacheconf/ssl.key/servername.pem
(Remember to store password separately)

Server Certificate: /path/to/your/apacheconf/ssl.crt/servername.crt

Entrust Chain Certificate: /path/to/your/apacheconf/ssl.crt/chain.crt
! Only required if the Entrust Chain Certificate was installed.

In the event of a disaster, reinstall all components and restore those files to their respective locations. Modify the newly re-installed httpd.conf to reflect the location of those certificates and the server should come back up as expected.
